The Center would like to extend a huge Thank You to
Ameren Missouri for their recent grant to support speech-language therapy in
the St. Louis Metro Area!

Generous corporate support enables the Center to
continue to serve thousands of St. Louisans of all ages who struggle with
speech-language disorders.

It’s estimated that 16 million
Americans have a speech or language disorder. In children it can result in the
failure to thrive academically, emotionally and socially.

Treatment offers a lifetime of
improved communication and a better chance at a healthier, happier and more
successful life. The Center’s Speech-Language Program conducts evaluations to
identify the type and severity of a child’s problem. By setting goals for
individual improvement, a child will then go through a number and specific
frequency of therapy sessions depending upon the severity of the child’s
disorder and his or her reaction to therapy.

Founded in 1920 in St. Louis, the Center for Hearing
& Speech is a 501(c) 3, non-profit organization and a proud member of the
United Way, which provides major funding. The Center’s primary goal is to
identify, treat and help St. Louisans with communications disorders by offering
speech/language and audiology services to children and adults, regardless of
whether they have insurance and/or financial resources to afford such
care.
